    Solvation Architects/Interiors

    A multi-disciplinary studio of creatives and thinkers.

    Ethos

    Solvation Architects in Stellenbosch has a strong focus on Regionalism, a design approach that emphasizes the integration of a building’s design with its local context, including geography, climate, culture, and history. The aim is to create architecture that is both contemporary and grounded in the specific characteristics of a region.
    Solvation Architects takes great care during the design concept stage to ensure the ‘foundations’ of the building concept has the ability to contribute not only to the context, but also future generations.

    We study the direct environment and materials which brings harmony between the new structures and existing landscape.

    The name is a combination of the words ‘solve’ and ‘innovation’. This encapsulates the essence of our brand – Innovative Solutions.

    Approach

    With a team of highly skilled and experienced professionals, we specialise in projects that accommodate people in a home and or leisurely environment. This varies from residential and multi residential, to boutique hotels, lodges, and places that cater for individuals, families, and communities at leisure. We have been involved in other projects, such as mixed-use developments and commercial buildings and will also be considered if the opportunity presents itself.

    We are confident in our ability to prioritize good quality, sustainable and eco-friendly materials, and techniques within the design. We create functional and practical solutions in complex scenarios on site to assist in finding completion on time and in budget, where possible. Involvement in larger projects we would encourage project managers to be appointed.

    We have dedicated key personnel that will be responsible for your specific project’s needs. They will be on call daily.
    Thank you for considering Solvation Architects. We look forward to building a long-term working relationship and finding innovative solutions with clients across the globe.
